43. The Kitchen Right after Thanksgiving, Mr. G’s cook always puts him on a diet, and for good reason. Last year she tried Weight Watchers. The Weight Watchers diet uses a point system based on calories and grams from fat. For every 50 calories, you use 1 pt. The day after Thanksgiving, Gallagher ate 4 waffles for breakfast (400 calories), a turkey sandwich for lunch (425 calories), and two slices of a meat lover’s stuffed crust pizza for dinner (500 calories per slice). How many points did he rack up? C) 18 1/4 points A) 36 ½ points B) 32 points D) 73 points

49. The Gazebo When Mr. G. really wanted to impress his dates, he would take them out to the gazebo. Quiet atmosphere, soft music, and dinner by candle light; who could resist?!
